KYIV, Oct 4 – President Volodymyr Zelensky was seeking to secure support from India, a long-time Russia, ally, by suggesting that Russia has been threatening to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Zelensky, who spoke with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, discussed recent ‘referenda’ held by Russia to annex the Ukrainian territory.

"With Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi we discussed the so-called "referendums" that Russia recently held in the temporarily occupied territories of our state. We also talked about food, nuclear security, cooperation within international organizations, primarily the UN. It is important to strengthen the Ukrainian-Indian partnership amid Russian aggression against Ukraine," Zelensky wrote on his Telegram channel.
